No problem - imatation is the best form of flattery - or so I heard. If you have any questions about something, Just ask them here and we'll chime in and help you out. Let the Fun begin! Heck I might even comedown there and make a little sawdust too!

I just might take you up on that.
I widened the build 2 inches ,to 78 inches
Glen had a mattress that will fit those specs
What size wheels and tires do you have on your trailer?
I am going to build the frame so changing widths wasn't a problem
Thanks
Ron

I used 12 inch wheels - they came with the trailer. I was also restricted to 1500 lbs carrying weight due to the trailer ratings. The posted weight is with the trailer included

Just a pointer for ya'. leave the front end open until most of the interior is done. This will help in installing interior panels, ceiling panels and such. When it comes time to close the front, all of the remaining panels are small enough to be fitted in through the door. I put a small bow in the roof (about a 1 inch rise) to help shed water. However the end seams are flat. All of my "other flat roofers" tended to sag. This one has not and worked really well.

Hey, Just to say Hi I'm new to the forum but I love the design of the trailer that we are building. I hope you guys don't mind us using the design. We will make some changes to the trailer to fit my taste but over all I have you guys to thank for letting me use your design to get started...
